摘要

Issues surrounding migration have often beennunderstood in relation to security concerns.nInsecurities can be examined from the perspectivenof both the nation state and also thenindividual. For example, the security of borders,npolitical and socio‐economic security/insecurity,nis a concern for a country hosting a significantnmigrant population. At the same time, however,nhuman security [comprising social, legal, economic,nand other conditions of (in)security] is annissue for the citizens of a host country as well asnfor the migrants who have entered or who plannto enter a country. Security, Insecurity andnMigration in Europe is a book that addresses thesencomplex relationships of (in)security and migration.nIt does so by drawing on papers presentednat an interdisciplinary conference that took placenat the University of Leicester in September 2009.nThese include contributions from research acrossndisciplines such as politics, sociology, geography,neducation, and demography. The chapters reportnon some of the latest work from severalnEuropean Union (EU) member states. And thenvolume undoubtedly enhances the understandingnof issues of great importance to policymakersnand academics alike.
